Sat 4th Nov: Women's International: England v Wales KO 12 noon @ Headingley (BBC Two)

[John Drake]

Discuss the Women's International: England v Wales here.

[moorside roughyed]

The ladies should win this one no problem. Looking forward to it as I'm there for the men's game too.

[Futtocks]

This will be a tough afternoon for Wales. Hoping they put up a good fight.

[sam4731]

England by however many they want.

[Northern Eel]

England at a canter, possibly by 60.

[Double Knock On]

Pointless fixture. Would have been more useful if the coach had picked some "Young Guns" for England to blood some for the next World Cup, rather than picking the faces that played against the Kiwis in the last one

[BroncoFan]

I agree this was a great opportunity to pick some young guns like Amelia Brown and possibly even Caitlin Casey.

Poor old Wales have a few of their better players missing, prop Emily Hughes is a big loss for them.

[meast]

England by loads, agree with the above, could have picked some of the squad/train on players for this one.

[moorside roughyed]

Glad it's on the telly. Will give those who haven't seen the women's game a chance to. 

[moorside roughyed]

In the Wetherspoons near the ground. About to set off. Come on girls. Put plenty past em

[Dunbar]

Wales will be pleased enough with this start.

[daz39]

Good start by Wales, 4 minutes before England got the ball, inevitebly though England score on their 1st serious attack.

Should be a big England win but you never know, i'll still enjoy it whatever.

Amy Hardcastle has just flattened the Welsh captain Shaunni Davies, who gone off looking very groggy.

[Hopie]

Mixed feelings really about this one, good that exposure gives a better chance of investment/sponsorship. But really this fixture is not at the standard where it should be on national TV.  Although the radio/Under 11s style commentary is probably affecting my view.

[Dunbar]

I watched the highlights of the 60-0 game earlier.

Obviously you can't tell from the highlights but this Welsh team is better organised and better in defensive technique than I remember back then. 

They are improved no doubt but I still expect England to get close to 50.

[Pulga]

Whales got dudded there.

[Pulga]

No matter the result, as long as Wales gets the opportunity to play England regularly, we'll see progress.

[Pulga]

Good effort from the Welsh centre!

[Pulga]

Almost need a binning here.

[gingerjon]

Swinging arm makes contact with head … commentators race to downplay it.

[Futtocks]

Some Welsh claret uncorked by that high shot. Molyneux to the bin.

[The Blues Ox]

Don't think there would have been too many complaints if it were a red card. Just looks direct contact with the head, awful technique.

[Pulga]

1 minute ago, gingerjon said:

It was very front-on with the attacker ducking. Almost lucky the defender was so upright.

[Pulga]

Good defence from England and terrible hands from Wales.

[The Blues Ox]

I don't usually say anything about the commentary but finding this really annoying. Just seems far too much, I'm watching it I don't need to be told every little thing that is going on.
